From the outside, Wm. Mulherin's Sons continues to earn its stripes as a top travel destination in Philadelphia. The former whiskey blending and bottling facility, located under SEPTA's El at Front and Master Streets, instantly became a hit for a mix of upscale and wood-fired fare.

... This is the place to stay if you wanna see what's happening on buzzy Frankford Avenue and across the broader Fishtown neighborhood. Bonus: It's one of the most thoughtfully designed and comfortable hotels in the city—if you can actually score a room. They seem to go as fast as the killer pies at the restaurant downstairs.

Check out the menu and hotel rooms over at Wm. Mulherin's Sons' official site.
